The Bay of Biscay is an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in southeastern Europe, bounded by France and Spain. Winds and currents make navigation difficult. (https://www.contemplator.com/sea/bayofbis.html) There are two different tunes named The Bay of Biscay, though interestingly, both concern shipwrecks.

The tune is the older of the two. This tune is also known as Ye Gentlemen of England. (2/3) „The Bay of Biscay, O (younger version, composed by Andrew Cherry)“
